Two eggs, potatoes, 1 pancake and 1 meat "bacon".
Dianne G.

Today's breakfast was beautiful and absolutely delicious. At the same time was able to meet the legendary matriarch and owner "Maxine" she greeted me while having breakfast and offered anything else to compliment breakfast she asked if I was visiting and I shared that I was and from California. My breakfast was again delicious if your in the area you must stop by from breakfast or lunch. By the way "Breakfast" is always served. Enjoy

Philly omelette

First off this is definitely small town America in the best way possible. Warm, friendly, and welcoming! Small cafe diner with great ambiance. Even meet Maxine herself when she came by to ask how everything was. Maxine and her staff are above and beyond 5 stars. I ordered Philly omelette with sourdough and hash browns. The omelette was outstanding and the only reason we dropped to 4stars was more of a personal preference on the hash browns. They were a little to soft for me but if I had know ahead of time I would have just asked for them extra crisp. Would I recommend Maxine's... yes!

Meat lovers omelette with hash browns and pancake (as big as it looks).

If you want a real, made from scratch, breakfast; you would be well-served to check out Maxine's. While the restaurant isn't large and isn't fancy, it serves good food at decent prices. Our party was welcomed by Maxine. A very nice lady, she was proud to tell us she has had the restaurant for 33 years. In my mind, it says she has obviously been doing it right for a long time. The omelettes were large and filled full with fresh cut ingredients. The hash browns were clearly made from fresh cut potatoes and were done crispy, as ordered. The pancakes were as big as the dinner plate they arrived on. Perfectly cooked and tasting great, they were a meal in themselves. Our group had the meat lovers and western omelette and a two egg breakfast plate. Two of three (all big eaters) brought a box of leftovers home. I'm looking forward to a return trip to Maxine's when visiting Rice Lake.

Kids mini cheese burger and fries.

Delicious food! Huge portions. Low prices. I had the everything omelette with a pancake. The pancake was as big as the plate. Couldn't finish pancake and didn't even touch the omelette or hash browns until I got home ( got those to-go). My son loved the kids mini cheeseburger and fries. And an order of the kids pancakes. He ate all of his food except 1 pancake. My son is picky, so if he eats most of his food, means he thoroughly enjoyed what he ate. The only downside to my meal was the hash browns. They were NOT crispy like most places make them. And very bland flavor even with onions. But that won't stop my 5-star rating. I'll be back for sure.

Cool clock

Maxine's is marvelous! The grandchildren rated the chocolate chip waffles as "delicious!" and the adults loved it as well.

The food is always great, all you can eat shrimp on Thursdays and Friday Fish fry. Service is…read morealways welcoming and friendly. This is old school so the ambiance is a little not super great but who cares when the food is good!!

If you go out to eat in this area, there aren't a ton of good choices. Put this place on your list…read moreas somewhere worthy of a try! We took our party there on a recent Friday evening. The parking lot was packed, as was the bar and waiting area. Fortunately, we had called ahead and were immediately seated. On the way to our table, I noticed the generous salad bar. I was excited to give it a whirl. Our waitress was efficient, just not overly friendly or engaging. She dutifully took our drink orders and came back a short time later with our old fashioned drinks and a Tom Collins. The old fashioned were muddled, if that is a make-or-break for you. Everyone liked their drink. The menu was a solid supper club menu; a little something for everyone. Our party had two cod dinners, a walleye dinner and a ribs/chicken dinner. We then took a stroll to the salad bar. In addition to two soup (clam chowder, cheese) the actual salad portion offered a wide array of choices. It was very good. While dining, I also noticed it being frequently refreshed. Our meals came with good timing for the completion of our salads. Each of the fish dishes was well proportioned and was appropriately hot. Our ribs/chicken diner love their ribs. They waited an additional 25 minutes for their 1/4 chicken and said it wasn't worth the wait. Aside from the dining room being somewhat noisy, it was your standard northern Wisconsin supper club dining area. Overall, the service could have improved with a smile and a check on the need for a second round of drinks. I eventually requested a redo of water and did get a full pitcher in return. The price was reasonable, the food was good. Would I return in the future? Definitely.
